Day 22 Rain, Rain Go Away

Rainy days and Mondays...Rain, Rain go away...you get the picture. I looked online to see if there might be a connection between rain and weight gain. I discovered that a lack of sleep contributes to weight gain and that falling asleep to the sounds of a rain forest might help. Fortunately, there was so much rain today, I shall not have to head for the rain forest...it is right outside my window. I took an hour walk in the rain, ate what I needed to eat, drank a cup of hot and fresh coffee, did my exercises and chose to just forget about it all.

Thank you Shel Silverstein for the following thoughts on rain..."I opened my eyes and looked up at the rain. And it dripped in my head and flowed into my brain. And all that I hear as I lie in my bed, is the slishity-slosh of the rain in my head. I step very softly, I walk very slow. I can't do a handstand--I might overflow. So pardon the wild crazy thing I just said--I'm just not the same since there's rain in my head". A perfect summation of Monday, rain, work, weight, walking and the on-going struggle...looking for my dry, warm bed.
